Kawasaki Z1000
The Kawasaki Z1000 name has been around for at over a decade and follows the Z series concept. The concept being a high power naked motorcycle that is fast and fun relatively at low RPM. Naturally the Z series has always used lightly modified versions of Kawasaki’s’ sports motorcycle range, which have always had slightly more power than most.
I like the Z1000 firstly for it’s futuristic design (in 2016). It’s really good front to back and easily one of the best looking naked motorcycle from Japan lately. As far as the specifications go it’s got over 100Kw and 100Nm and 220Kg makes for a quick motorcycle. It’s also nice to see that Kawasaki has kept the extra pipes as it wouldn’t be a Z with them. That said I would definitely add a few mods here an there to make it my own.
There’s really not much I can say about Z1000 because I do like it and does make my final list to make motorcycles to buy.
